An Inconvenient Earl

Should he reveal her secret...or fall in love?

It’s been over a year since Emma Clark, Countess of Dearborn’s, abusive husband left on an expedition. Emma is now head of the household and enjoying her new freedom. But people are beginning to presume the earl is dead. If Emma were widowed her husband’s family would remove her from the estate, leaving her destitute. Regardless of the truth she must ensure the rumours stop.

But when the Earl of Marlaine, Luka Olivien appears on her doorstep, Emma’s lifestyle is threatened. Luka has travelled from Egypt to meet Albert’s grieving widow and return his belongings. Only the woman standing in front of him doesn’t know he is dead... Or does she?
